I've had lots of temporarily big balances in my checking account, and believe me it's worse when you actually go into the bank. Every time I go in for a simple transaction the investment advisors get called by the tellers and I have to spend a couple of minutes telling them that I'm not going to invest with them and it's just a temporary balance over and over before I get my transaction done.
The upside though is that they are so hungry that they help you out however they can. I got them to waive the minimum balance and direct deposit requirements for my checking account when I retired. The way they did it was worth sharing: They just set up a repeating $25 monthly transfer from checking to savings, and that was enough to satisfy their requirements for free checking at Wells Fargo.
